Start meal planning

Meal planning can help you save time and money, while also ensuring you eat healthy and delicious meals. Here are some steps to help you get started:

1. Choose your recipes: Decide on the meals you want to make for the week and choose recipes that you enjoy and that fit within your dietary restrictions or preferences.

2. Make a grocery list: Based on the recipes you've chosen, make a list of all the ingredients you need. Be sure to take into account any items you already have at home.

3. Shop for groceries: Go to the grocery store and purchase all the items on your list. Stick to your list to avoid unnecessary purchases.

4. Prep ingredients: When you get home, wash and chop any vegetables, cook grains or proteins, and portion out ingredients so that they're ready to use when you're ready to cook.

5. Store your ingredients: Store your prepped ingredients in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer. Be sure to label them so you know what they are and when you prepped them.

6. Cook your meals: Use your prepped ingredients to cook your meals throughout the week. You can also make larger batches of meals and freeze them for later.

Remember, meal planning can take some time and effort, but it can save you time and money in the long run. It's also a great way to ensure you eat healthy and delicious meals.
